Why use Japanese sweet potato in this smoothie bowl?

Japanese sweet potato adds a unique creamy texture and a subtle, earthy sweetness that complements the 'French toast' flavor profile, while also adding nutrients.

How do I ensure my smoothie bowl is thick and creamy?

To achieve a thick, creamy consistency, start with the recommended amount of non-dairy milk and only add more if the mixture is too thick to blend. Using a tamper or scraping the sides helps keep it thick.

What gives this smoothie bowl its 'French Toast' flavor?

The combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and naturally sweet ingredients like ripe bananas, Medjool dates, and Japanese sweet potato creates a comforting flavor reminiscent of classic French toast.

What are the best toppings for this French Toast Smoothie Bowl?

The recipe suggests fresh berries and a dollop of coconut whipped cream to enhance the flavors and add a refreshing contrast to the creamy bowl.

Can I make this French Toast Smoothie Bowl ahead of time?

This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture, but you can prepare the cooked sweet potato and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days to save time.

How to Prepare French Toast Smoothie Bowl [Vegan]

First, pop your Japanese sweet potato in the microwave for 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s cooked when it’s squeezable and soft. Let it cool a bit and peel off the skin.
Add the sweet potato, bananas, non-dairy milk, and rolled oats to a blender container, followed by the nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, dates, and salt.
Securely attach the lid to the container and blend, starting at low speed and then working your way up to medium or even high speed, depending on how powerful your blender is. You will need to stop and scrape the sides of the container now and then or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food towards the blade. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick to blend easily. When the mixture can spin freely around the blade and looks creamy, it’s done.
Scoop the mixture, which will be the consistency of smooth, creamy oatmeal, into 2 or 3 bowls and top with fresh berries and a dollop of coconut whipped cream!
